Blind Assessment: Sweetly tart, lyric, complex. Roasted cacao nib, honey, guava, green apple, brisk lavender in aroma and cup. Lively, juicy acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor carries with authority into a bright, honey-toned finish.
Notes: This coffee, which combines fine wet-processed Ethiopias from two of Ethiopia’s most distinguished growing regions, is the first in Barrington’s Ceres Project aimed at blending super premium coffees to create signature profiles. Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast.

Who Should Drink It: Those likely to enjoy a fine and original variation on the great Ethiopian cup: brightly juicy, deeply complex.
